Investigators said they were found in a creek at Binford Park in New Albany.

The family has been identified as 35-year-old Jamie Clutter, her 10-year-old son, Brandon, and her 6-month-old daughter, Katelyn.

Police said the Clutters moved to New Albany in December from Washington state.

Investigators have not yet identified any suspects in their deaths.

Authorities said there is something very mysterious about the way the bodies were found Wednesday.

Autopsies were performed Thursday at the Kentucky Medical Examiner's Office in Louisville. The exact cause of death is pending further testing.

Less than 24 hours after the bodies of the mother and her two young children were found floating in a creek, the mystery surrounding the discovery began to surface.

"Any time you get three members of the same family that die out in a public place on the same day, there are just so many questions. Why are the bodies there? Who put them there? Was it an accident?" said Floyd County Coroner Leslie Knable.

Knable was called to the scene Wednesday and she said some factors in the case are flat-out strange.

"There weren't any injuries, there weren't any obvious injuries to these family members," said Knable.

The coroner couldn't mention specific details, but said a few other details about the discovery are so bizarre that it's even puzzling detectives right now.

Bryan Horn’s daily walk takes him past Binford Park, a place he described as secluded and peaceful.

"It’s sad that someone could do this to a family, especially two kids. That’s what’s saddening about the whole thing. Those kids never had a chance at life," Horn said.

Police said people walking in the park spotted the bodies around 5 p.m. Wednesday.

The creek is only about a foot or two deep.

At the time, police said the victims showed no obvious signs of trauma.

Detectives spent the evening hours trying to piece together what happened and why.

"We are devastated really. It is probably without question the most traumatic event that's happened at this church for sure and probably my lifetime," said the Rev. J. Todd Nichols, who has been the family's pastor at Greater Faith Church ever since they moved to New Albany from Seattle. "Mike and Jamie were here for three months but it kind of felt like they had been here for years. They were that kind of family, very docile, very kind and sweet."

"My kids are on a leash until we figure out what’s happening," Horn said.

"Knowing that those poor souls may have suffered, that hurts me probably the most," said neighbor Cathy Brooks. "Something happened somewhere and there's a lot of unanswered questions."

The people involved in the investigation hope to answer those questions soon.

"I know we'll be able to provide (answers). I just don't know how long it will take," said Knable.

With New Albany police saying little about the case, some people have been doing their own detective work.

"We’re just talking to a lot of friends and family, people we know here in New Albany, to see if we can find out anything. Until the police let us know what’s going on, we’re doing all we can to find out what happened," Horn said.

Family members said the Clutters moved to the area from Washington because of Jamie’s husband’s job at a printing company in Louisville.

Police said he came home Wednesday to find his wife and children missing.
